Does anyone have any advice???!
2B - Jorge Martinez
2016: .251/.402/.384 in 111 games
2017: .273/.436/.473 in 153 games
2018: .342/.492/.622 in 127 games
2019: .200/.394/.327 in 48 games |
He's in a slump but it looks worse when compared to 2018. He is a 0.260-0.290 hitter who obviously takes plenty of BB. His OBP is better than good so he's not a black hole in the lineup. Looks like he is paying the BABIP tax on last seasons luck. By any chance did you lose another hitter that may have been complementary to him? Where does he normally hit in the order?
With his OBP I wouldn't sit him but you may want to give him a couple of days off in the next two weeks. I'd keep him in his regular spot unless it's killing your offense.
